Abstract: Andrographolide (1), the major labdane diterpenoidal constituent of Andrographis paniculata Wall, has been found to be majorly responsible for the medicinal uses of the plant particularly anti-cancer properties. In our previous work, we have found 3,19-diacetyl-12-phenylthio-14-deoxy-andrographolide (3g), a semi-synthetic derivative of Andrographolide to be one of the most potent compounds exhibiting cytotoxic activity against a number of human cancer cell lines particularly HCT-116 cell line. In this work, we report the effect of 3g on cell cycle arrest and its apoptosis inducing potential on HCT-116 cell line. In addition, we also report the synthesis of some new 3,19-diacetyl-C-12-substituted-14-deoxy-andrographolide derivatives 3a–f, their cytotoxic effects on colon cancer cells (HCT-116), and the mechanistic studies of the active analogue 3c. Encouragingly, we have also found that the compounds 3c and 3g were observed to be non-toxic (IC50 > 250 μM) to baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) normal cells.
Keywords: 3,19-diacetyl-C-12-substituted-14-deoxy-andrographolides ; Anti-cancer activity ; Apoptosis inducer ; Cell cycle arrest ; HCT-116 cell line
